Document usage of workflow job template nodes with approvals
SUMMARY
I'm not sure if this procedure is mandatory, but it was the only way it worked for me.
It's already documented in one sentence that you can create all workflow template nodes first and then link them later. However in the Examples it has been missing to make it explicit, as it's not really intuitive when you create the nodes and link them at the same time, it won't work and you run into #8777

Make tower_license module idempotent
SUMMARY
Currently, the tower_license module always installs a license, without checking if Tower is already licensed. In general, Ansible modules are supposed to be idempotent. This PR updates the module to check whether Tower is already licensed, and do nothing in that case. A new parameter force is provided so the user can always install the license, or override an existing license with a new one.

Fix tower_job_launch tags being passed to API
SUMMARY
#10008
Fix tower_job_launch tags being passed to API
Previously the wrong field was being used on the api to pass tags, also while the module accepts lists, the API does not, so it would error. Take a users list, and converts to comma separated string, in order to maintain status quo.

Add workflow approval and node wait modules
SUMMARY
Please see #9878 this is a clean PR after redoing my fork.
Add a module to find a workflow approval node and approve or deny it, based on Issue #8013.
Add a module to wait for a specific workflow node to complete and return information on it.
Both of these are based on tests I have been creating for testing workflows.
Scenario
Launch workflow
Wait for A node in the workflow to finish, compare output to expected output.
If it matches, approve the approval node, otherwise deny the approval node.
Workflow completes.
Even used in concert I've added the wait feature to both of these so a user can wait on either to appear.
This does require a workflow to use unique names on the job nodes they are waiting on, As the job # is created on the fly, it would be difficult for user to specify, A future update could explore searching for a specific identifier among a workflow template and then finding that job created by that identifier.
Currently without the modules this depends on generous use of the uri module, with until and retry coupled together.

Tower workflow schema
SUMMARY
See #9309 This is a clean PR of that, after an errant rebase
Adds a way to add entire workflow node schemas to workflows. Either through the workflow schema module or the workflow job template module.
This speeds up workflow creation vs the workflow node module by 3x.
The model for the schemas is the format used by the tower_export module.
The main difference between this and the workflow node module is that the loops are done in python. Traditionally if you have a workflow with 10 nodes, ansible tasks need to be invoked 19 times. 1x to create the workflow, 10 x to initially create the nodes, and then one time for each node that is not an endpoint in the schema. This removes the need to loop and invoke many times.
